Recently, Sunrise Rotary welcomed our newest members Jeff Eagen and Dr. Elliot Shambeau. Jeff is the Kettle Country District Executive for the Boy Scouts of America, and Dr. Elliot Shambeau recently joined the Gentle Dental Emporium as their newest dentist. Glad to have you join our club and do good in our community!
The club is proud to introduce our new presidential team: right to left-President Jon Corbett, President Elect John Knoll, and President Nominee Stacy Wolak. Looking forward to a great year as we follow this year's Rotary Theme: Create Hope in the World.
 
Thanks to our intrepid crew who recently completed the spring highway cleanup for the east side of Highway 45 between Paradise Drive and Hwy 33. It looks so much better!
In the last 6 months, the West Bend Sunrise Rotary club has welcomed quite a few new members to our club.  In March, Amy Kohl of We Rock the Spectrum Gym and Patrick McCain of Moraine Park were inducted as new members, and in April, Toni Gumina, President and CEO of the west Bend Chamber of Commerce was inducted.
 
Also, between Fall 2022 and early 2023, Ralph Schlass, Amy Campbell, Mark Emery, David Nycz, Benjamin  McCardell, and Scott Hanson were inducted. We are excited about these new members and their future contributions to the club!
